All partners will contribute, design to the production of the outputs. Each partner will be responsible for preparation and design of 1 module. Modules will be available in e-learning version and on web site. Partners will produce modules and training materials which will support learning activities of students. Production will be distributed among partners. These will be edited as a group at a meeting and published and disseminated. These modules will be implemented in the teacher training in each institution. New partnership and learning community will be established under this project between cooperating institutions. Partners will share experience in using modules and training materials in their initial science teacher training.
